# Coventry Cross Mosque
Coventry Cross Mosque is an established Islamic place of worship and community centre located in Bromley By Bow, East London. Founded in March 1983, it holds the distinction of being the first mosque granted by Tower Hamlets Council to local residents for independent management. Originally converted from residential flats, the building has undergone multiple extensions and modernisations to serve the growing local Muslim community across four decades.
The mosque serves as both a spiritual hub and social focal point for East London's Muslim population. It provides daily prayer facilities, with particular emphasis on the Friday Jumu'ah congregation, which operates two sessions during summer months (1:20pm and 2:20pm). The facility accommodates increased attendance through multiple prayer times and extended capacity following previous expansions.
Beyond prayer services, Coventry Cross Mosque distinguishes itself through comprehensive Islamic education programmes. The mosque runs an Evening Maktab (Monday to Friday, 5–7pm) for Quranic study, alongside specialist sessions including Darsul Hadeeth (Hadith studies) and Tafsirul Quran (Quranic interpretation). These educational initiatives reflect the mosque's commitment to developing religious knowledge within the community.
The mosque employs the Mushahadah London Salah Timetable, calculated using advanced astronomical methods and verified observations by experienced Islamic scholars. This scientific approach to prayer times demonstrates their dedication to accuracy and religious authenticity. The facility actively encourages financial support through donations to maintain operations and fund future community developments.
